Gentle introductions
Low-pressure opportunities to become familiar with first responders, uniforms, and vehicles.
Community initiative
Familiar Faces
Know Them Before You Need to Know Them.
The emergency should never be the introduction.
Familiar Faces is a developing initiative designed to help individuals with disabilities, their families, and first responders build familiarity through welcoming community experiences.
The goal is simple: create opportunities to meet, explore equipment and vehicles at a comfortable pace, and build understanding before a stressful situation arises.
Planning status: A pilot community event is being developed. Event arrangements and registration are not yet confirmed.
